As US-Israel war on Iran rages on, anti-Trumpers protest on ‘No Kings’ day
Millions protest in third major wave as 'No Kings' movement targets Trump's Iran war and governance.
Massive protests erupted across the United States and in major European cities on Saturday, March 28, 2026, marking the third major mobilization in less than a year for the grassroots 'No Kings' movement. Millions of demonstrators voiced fury over what they perceive as President Donald Trump's authoritarian tendencies and "law-trampling governance" since he began his second term in January 2025. The movement has become the most vocal and visible conduit for opposition to Trump, with rallies reported in Atlanta, Amsterdam, Madrid, and Rome.
The protests were fueled by a new focal point: the ongoing war against Iran launched by the Trump administration alongside Israel, which has been characterized by ever-shifting goals and timelines. The anti-Trump sentiment has demonstrably spilled beyond U.S. borders, indicating international concern. In Atlanta, thousands gathered in a park with signs declaring "We Are Losing Our Democracy," encapsulating the core fear driving the demonstrations. The scale and international reach of the 'No Kings' protests highlight significant domestic and global political tensions during Trump's second term.
